The Grand Canyon

I've seen You calm the waters raging
in the rivers of my mind
Your spirit blows a breeze into my soul
And I've felt the fire that warms the heart
Knowing that it comes from You
Then I've let it turn as cold as a stone

Sometimes I feel like I'm as close as your shadow and
Sometimes I feel like I'm looking up
at You from the bottom of the
Grand Canyon,
so small and so far
From the Grand Canyon, with a hole in my heart
And I'm a long way from where I know I need to be
When there's a Grand Canyon between You and me

I've had the faith that gave me strength
for moving any mountainside
I've felt the solid ground beneath my feet
But I've had the bread of idleness while
drinking from a well of doubt
And it shakes the core of all I believe

Sometimes I feel like I'm as close as your shadow and
Sometimes I feel like I'm looking up
at you from the bottom of the
When there's a Grand Canyon between You and me

Sometimes I feel like I'm as close as your shadow and
Sometimes I feel like I'm looking up
at you from the bottom of the
When there's a Grand,
Grand Canyon between You and me

This song so describes the way my relationship with my Higher Power seems to be. There are times when I feel my Higher power in and all around me, she comes to me in the people I interact with everyday. During those times I feel that no challenge is too great for me to endure. Yet, there are times when I struggle to find even a shimmer of my Higher Power. I feel isolated and alone during those times when she eludes me. I often wonder if my Higher Power isn't really there all the time and I am the one who does not recognize her presence..........
